About this meeting

Colchester Do164 is an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held every Tuesday at 7.15pm at the Quaker Meeting House, 6 Church Road, Colchester. It runs for an hour and a half and is a closed meeting, which means it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking, whether they have years of sobriety behind them or are walking in for the very first time. There is nothing to sign up for and no one to notify in advance; you simply turn up. The venue is wheelchair accessible and has provision for people with hearing difficulties, making it one of the more accessible meeting spaces in town. Arriving a few minutes before the start gives you a chance to say hello before things begin.

Common questions

Can anyone attend Colchester Do164?

This is a closed AA meeting, meaning it is for people who have, or think they might have, a desire to stop drinking. Family members or friends wanting to observe would be better suited to one of Colchester's open meetings, but if drinking is the issue you want help with, you are welcome here from your very first visit.

How much does it cost and do I need to book?

Nothing, and no. AA meetings are free, with no booking, referral or membership required. A voluntary collection is usually passed around to help cover room hire, but newcomers are not expected to put anything in.

Is the venue accessible?

Yes. The Quaker Meeting House on Church Road is wheelchair accessible and has support for people with hearing difficulties. The meeting lasts an hour and a half, finishing at about 8.45pm.
